Get Travel Vaccinations and Advice

We strongly recommend that you seek professional advice regarding any vaccinations required for your holiday. This can be provided by the practice nurses at the Surgery or at any private holiday travel clinic. You must ensure you receive your vaccinations in good time for your holiday in order for them to take effect. Please ensure you complete and return the travel form to us at least 8 weeks before departure (see travel vaccination clinics on our website, under clinics and services).

The following vaccines are provided free of charge by the NHS for travel abroad:

Smallpox (not available at this practice)

Typhoid (to some countries)

Poliomyelitis

Hepatitis A

Diphtheria/Tetanus/Polio combined

Our fees include the cost of the drug (including carriage and VAT), a private prescription, practice nurse time and a small administration charge. This is a VAT exempt service.
